The University of Maryland Genome Assembly GroupDeveloping Methods for Improving Genome Assembly

Welcome

Genome assembly

The University of Maryland Assembly Group aims at creating the
best possible software for whole genome assembly. We develop
the MaSuRCA genome assembler. The MaSuRCA
genome assembler can be used on assembly projects of all sizes, from
bacteria genomes to mammalian genomes to large plant
genomes. MaSuRCA has been used to assemble de novo a variety of genomes, sometimes improving on published genomes using added data, sometimes creating the first publicly available draft genome for the species.

Are you experiencing problems with
MaSuRCA? Contact us. We would like to
help if we can. Perhaps we can point you in the right direction.
